Think lesser of this world? That would seem a logical conclusion. Your choice it's finite vs infinite, I'll take a better existence for eternity.

Please take a look at the region where your beliefs were born. It is also the same area where all three of the main monotheisms were born. These people are still greatly tribal driven. They are superstitious and are among the least developed populations in the world. Illiteracy is still prevalent and one can only imagine how few could actually read at the time these books were written. Then take the time to review how the books were chosen and how many books were dismissed. Then look at the countless revisions and flat out forgeries in the books you hold in such high value. Check out very recent additions of the immaculate conception and the assumption. You talk with total confidence and that is fine but understand I have looked into this subject and I am unimpressed with your arrogance, and I left out Hovind which the fact you listen to this clown alone puts your creditability in question to begin with if not desroying it completely~
